Not even a plucky loss for Arina Rodionova could rescue a dismal Australian campaign that has left us without a third-round Wimbledon singles entry and has seen Bernard Tomic shunned by the tennis world.

Tomic was slapped with the second-largest single fine in Wimbledon history and lost his racquet sponsor in the fallout from his lackustre first-round exit.

The Grand Slam Committee fined Tomic $US15,000 ($A20,000) for unsportsmanlike conduct after the Australian admitted to being “bored” and feigning injury during his 6-4 6-3 6-4 opening round loss to German Mischa Zverev.

Australia has failed to progress past the second round in the singles draw at Wimbledon for the first time since 2012 after Rodionova let slip a big second-set lead to lose 6-4 7-6 (7-4) to Kazakh wildcard Zarina Diyas on Friday morning (AEST).

The world No.166 was valiant in defeat despite taking to the court barely 36 hours after the arrest and release of her AFL-star husband Ty Vickery, who is continuing to assist police with an extortion investigation.

Her loss follows a dire performance from the Aussie men, who all lost in the first round to equal Australia’s worst result at Wimbledon since 1938.

And while none of the men distinguished themselves, Tomic has borne the worst of the condemnation for his startling post-loss media conference.

Tomic, ranked No.59, admitted to pretending to have a back injury when he called for the trainer midway through the second set, but opted not to take any medication.

“I just tried to break a bit of momentum, but just couldn’t find any rhythm and, you know, wasn’t mentally and physically there with my mental state to perform,” Tomic said.

In an extraordinary postscript, Tomic also confessed to only playing for money and no longer caring how he performed at grand slam tournaments.

But it was his “bored” comment that left the All England Club incensed. “I don’t know why, but I felt a little bit bored out there, to be completely honest with you,” Tomic said.

The ITF, tennis’s governing body, initially took the rare step of referring Tomic’s explosive post-match remarks directly to the All England Club before the Grand Slam Committee determined his punishment.

Only Italian hot-head Fabio Fognini, who was hit with a $US20,000 ($A27,500) fine for a wild tantrum in 2014, has ever copped a more severe financial punishment at the game’s showpiece.

Tomic’s fine represents around a third of the $60,000 prize money he received for his 84-minute cameo.

He stands to lose significantly more after racquet-maker Head on Thursday controversially dumped the 24-year-old, despite sticking with Maria Sharapova through her doping ban.

“We were extremely disappointed with the statements made at Wimbledon by one of our sponsored athletes, Bernard Tomic,” the manufacturer said in a statement.

“His opinions no way reflect our own attitude for tennis, our passion, professionalism and respect for the game.”

Tomic’s premature exit came as Nick Kyrgios retired hurt on the opening day and Australia’s young hopefuls fell short.

Kyrgios  was forced to withdraw from his opening match at the All England Club after trailing two sets to love against Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert, citing a troublesome hip injury.

But days after his first-round retirement, the 22-year-old was embroiled in controversy after a series of photos emerged of his late-night celebrations in London.

A foggy Kyrgios was captured outside Cirque Le Soir nightclub at 3am on Tuesday.

Australia’s top-ranking woman, 20th seed Daria Gavrilova, joined the quick departures with a disappointing 6-4 2-6 10-8 loss to Croatian qualifier Petra Martic.

“I think I can’t really cope with the grand slam pressure,” Gavrilova said after the match.

Jordan Thompson was unable to replicate his Queen’s Club upset over World no. 1 Andy Murray a fortnight ago, crashing out 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7-4) to Spanish 25th seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas on day two.

Elsewhere, 478th in the world Thanasi Kokkinakis fought hard in a 6-3 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 loss to former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro.

Ash Barty saved six match points before falling to world No.5 Elina Svitolina 5-7 6-7 (8-10).

John Millman was easily dispensed 6-1 6-3 6-2 by 15-time grand slam winner Rafael Nadal, while qualifier Andrew Whittington succumbed to Brazillian Thiago Monteiro 4-6 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-5).
